  1. Thats a good point: Once you beat a game, how often do you pick it up and play it again? I had the same discussion with my girlfriend's younger brother who was all happy after beating some arcade game. He'll probably never go into the arcade and play that again let alone half the N64 games he has beaten. Now if I saw a Burger Time in an arcade, hell yeah I'd play it again and of course I still play my Atari. Atari as well as most of the old school games are always fun and they let you use your imagination.

    Go to the weekend Great Valley Flea Market in North Versailles. There is a lady about 60 yrs old, Carolyn, who usually has a TON of classic gaming stuff. Her prices are rather steep, but still, it's so cool to walk into her area in that building and see all the Atari, Sega Master system, etc stuff. You never know what she'll have.

     

    I think its called the Super Flea now. Yeah but that woman's pretty evil. She does have some good stuff. I got a lot of good games from her before she realized what she had and jacked up all her prices. You still can talk her down if you are repectful. My girlfriend hated her and how she would treat other people. But she loved me since I was always there buying Atari games.


  3. Welcome aboard. Where in Pittsburgh are you from? I lived in Pittsburgh for about 5 years. There are some great flea markets that I miss. Anyway, sega controllers do work in the Atari, but the buttons are reversed in other words they don't register until you release the button. So you would have to modify them to register when you press down instead. My thinking is: why bother, joysticks work just as good.


  4. I've always wondered what that game was called. I saw it once at in the Sears Arcade when I was little and didn't have any money to play it. I never saw it again anywhere. Until I played Universal Chaos. And as I can remember its almost exactly the same. Thanks.


  5. I bought mine in the store. But it was one of those games I was really satisfied with. Thats the one thing about Atari games when you bought them new, long ago. You ran that risk that you would be disappointed by them. Games I've been reaaly satisified with:

     

    Pressure Cooker

    Jr. Pac Man

    Solaris

    Midnight Magic

    Masters of the Universe the Power of He-Man

    Spacemaster X-7

    Star Trek

    California Games

     

    Some of these games were like $30 when they came out, so you want your money's worth.


  6. My girlfriend knows how much I love Atari and she has gotten me games. But My collections to the point where she doesn't know what I have and what I don't have. My two other "girlfriends" get me games also. They get me stuff all the time.


  7. Heh, I found that out a long time ago too. My first Atari was a reconditioned model as well at the controllers, so needless to say everything was weird. My Atari would also "fry" on its own. So my friends came over with their games just to see what my Atari would do to them.


  8. I liked River Raid 2 better than the first. I thought it was more challenging than the first and is more versitile. You could fly slow like a bomber or fast and low like a fighter. There's distiction between air units and ground units. I also like landing on the carrier after each round.
